Having trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi?
First make sure that your mobile device on which you have installed the VIEW App is connected to the 2.4 GHz network of your Wi-Fi router and that you have entered the correct password for your Wi-Fi. For details on how to connect to your router's 2.4 GHz network, refer to your router documentation.

* Note: Transmitters that were already linked to the VIEW station before the connection are suggested as additional devices in the notification area of the app after a few minutes in order to add them in the app. Only if a transmitter is added later (or was not automatically detected during the connection), select the device management „Devices" in the app menu. There you can scan and add individual transmitters. They will be received by the VIEW station and forwarded to the server/app.

Transmitter for temperature and humidity
The transmitter is used to monitor temperature and humidity. When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
Wind meter
Ensure the wind sensor is mounted vertically. Mount the wind sensor onto a roof or mast so the wind can reach the sensor unobstructed from all directions. Ideally, you should position the wind meter so that it represents the highest object in the immediate vicinity. This gives you the most accurate measurement results.
Whether you choose to connect to the Internet and the TFA View app or not, this station has the ability to display data for up to 4 additional transmitters.
For a complete list of of all compatible transmitters, please visit www.tfa-dostmann.de/view/.
Connect additional transmitters to your station:
When first powering up, or after a factory restart, additional transmitters which have already been activated are automatically connected to the base station.
